Abstract: Machine d'usinage par décharge électrique à découpage par fil (1) possédant un dispositif amélioré de guidage de fil (17) placé dans un endroit où le fil est fléchi. Ce dispositif de guidage du fil (17) est constitué d'un cylindre de guidage (6) et d'un élément (16) empêchant la chute du fil, dont l'une des extrémités est fixée au corps (3) de la machine. Une partie d'un organe de maintien (22) placé sur ledit élément (16) s'engage dans une rainure (20) du cylindre de guidage (6), et une rainure de maintien (27) est ménagée dans la surface de l'organe de maintien (22) en regard du fond de la rainure (20) du cylindre. En outre, l'organe de maintien (22) dispose d'un jeu légèrement supérieur au diamètre du fil (2) entre lui-même et la paroi (26) de la rainure (20) du cylindre. Même lorsqu'il est coupé pour une raison quelconque lors de l'usinage par décharge électrique, le fil (2) remonte de manière résiliente jusqu'au cylindre de guidage (6) et se remet sur le bon chemin, son énergie de remontée étant absorbée par la rainure de maintien (27). Grâce à cet agencement, le fil ne peut pas tomber du cylindre de guidage (6). Par contre, pour enrouler le fil (2) de nouveau autour du cylindre de guidage (6), on peut le faire passer dans l'espace formé entre d'une part l'organe de maintien (22) de l'élément (16) empêchant la chute du fil et d'autre part la paroi (26) de la rainure dudit cylindre de guidage (6).

Abstract: An acceleration sensor (10) includes a vibrator (12) of, for example, a quandrangular prism shape. On the opposed side faces of the vibrator, piezoelectric elements (14,16) are formed. The piezoelectric elements (14,16) are polarized from the outside toward the vibrator side. Driving signals of the same phase are applied to these piezoelectric elements (14,16). The vibrator (12) vibrates in its longitudinal direction by these driving signals. In the vibrator (12), a resonance frequency of the longitudinal vibration is equalized to a resonance frequency of the bending vibration. And, a voltage difference between the output voltages of the two piezoelectric elements (14,16) is detected by a differential circuit. The shape of the vibrator (12) may be a triangular prism shape. In this case, the piezoelectric elements are formed on the three side faces of the vibrator (12). Two by two combinations of these piezoelectric elements are inputted to the differential circuits. The piezoelectric elements (14,16) may be polarized from the vibrator side toward the outside.

Abstract: The process described relates to the preparation of aqueous betaine solutions by reacting a tertiary amine with an  omega -monohalocarboxylic acid, preferably monochloroacetic acid, and alkali metal hydroxide in the presence of water, it being intended that these betaine solutions are ultra pure especially with regard to tertiary starting amine and  omega -monohalocarboxylic acid. This is achieved by reacting the three reactants initially at a certain molar ratio with the aim of obtaining a betaine solution which only contains a tolerated amount of starting amine. This aqueous betaine solution is then treated with a sulphonating agent, preferably an alkali metal sulphite, alkali metal pyrosulphite or alkali metal bisulphite for converting the  omega -monohalocarboxylic acid which is present into the corresponding sulphocarboxylic acid which is not troublesome. The process described is simple to carry out and results in the abovementioned ultra pure aqueous betaine solutions.

Abstract: The invention relates to a snowboard which has a front side designed either symmetrically or asymmetrically to the longitudinal axis of the board, viewed in the direction of sliding or movement of the board, and a back side opposite the latter. The construction of this board is to be improved so that, both in the asymmetrical and in the symmetrical design, its strength properties, especially its torsional rigidity, which is also referred to as "hardness" in the technical jargon, meets even high stresses without impairing the movement properties of the board. This is achieved in that the torsional rigidity (hardness) of the board (1) increases from the scoop (5) and the rear (6) towards the centre (C) of the board, and the region of high torsional strength on the front side (3) is smaller than on the back side (4). <IMAGE>

Abstract: An optical fiber package of this invention applies a friction enhancing material to the smooth surface of a bobbin or mandrel onto which the optical fiber is wound. The friction enhancing material adheres the initial layer of fiber to the smooth surface of the bobbin, thereby eliminating the need for an independent base structure for establishing and maintaining a winding path for the fiber. Furthermore, the friction enhancing material prevents the lateral movement at initial layer of fiber relative to the bobbin. In accordance with the preset invention, the friction enhancing material is preferably a plastic material such as room temperature vulcanized (RTV) silicones and Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR) or the like. In addition, the optical fiber package of this invention may combine the use of both a friction enhancing material between the initial fiber layer and the bobbin, as well as an adhesive material coating applied along the length of the optical fiber. Accordingly, a stable package of elongated optical fiber strand material is established which may be used in situations or environments requiring rapid payout of the fiber without adversely effecting either the physical or the communicational properties of the fiber.
